Repeat after Jesus

“Our Father who art in Heaven.”

 

If I could only remember always that in the rest of the world “Our” is made up of me plus others in which group I am only one; then it would be easier to love them. That is because they are truly my brothers and they are just as sons and daughters of God and beloved of God and parts of the one body that is Jesus.

An individual prayer does not and should not exist, for there is only one body of which we are all parts.

There is only one body and one God, one Lord, one baptism, one way, one life, one destiny, one Kingdom, one King, one will, one Lord, one Savior, one fellowship, one desire in accordance with the one will.

We are from one God, we are of one God, we go back to one God from where we came. Our prayer must, by imperative necessity, be one prayer of the one will so that it be done on earth as it is done in heaven according to the mind of Jesus.

Therefore, prayer cannot be defined in any other way but agreeing with God and the one will that must always prevail. That is the will of “Our Father in Heaven.”

The will of God must and will be done as it is in Heaven where there is but one will and no other. As praiseworthy as Democracy may be on Earth in comparison with other views under the sun, it still is the expression of the will of the people, by the people and for the people.

The form of government of the Kingdom of God is done by the will of God. It is an absolute Theocracy. All power and authority, glory and honor, worship and praise is to God, because it is his Kingdom for ever and ever, Amen.

This is the teaching elder on duty in matters of Prayer.
